I did mine the other week.

Its not hard but time consuming.
its basically taking off all the
air filter assembly
header tank

then once all thats out the way you can get to the cover.
6 bolts
remove old gasket - clean up as mine was a mess, in bits.
then put new one's on.
one main one around the edge
two around the spark plugs.

and 6 rubber washers for the bolts.

done!.;

hope this helps..
oh took me 4.5 hours! hehe

Cheers Magnet,

Thanks for the quick reply, i've changed the plug and coil packs on that side before, so just a case of taking the same stuff off as i did for those
